Seeking advice on photoresistor led sequence project

Hello cisco87,
you can simply trigger the sequence by reading the photoresistor:

void loop()                     
{
  int lightLevel = analogRead(lightPin); 

  // ...

  if( lightLevel < lowThreshold )
  {
     inAndOut();          
  }
  else
  {
     // ...
  }
}

consider that the analog channel is read when the "inAndOut" function completes its execution, once evey 6*100 = 600 millisec.
